What a weekend! Mercedes and Shogun both break down on me! 
Driving home from work 8.30 Friday night about 15miles from home, engine management light comes on and loss of power. Pull over check book, okay to drive. Manage to limp home. Saturday, out and about in Shogun, come back to it, won't start, RAC start it tighten belt and it later shredded it! :fail
I've had the E220 3 weeks and put 2000miles on it. Non Mercedes purchase with 3 year Safe & Sound Ultimate warranty. It has 49,000 miles on it and 2 Mercedes services the last service was done by the garage that sold it to me. It was 3 years old back in December.
Frustrating but not the end of he world. I spoke with the garage that sold it and was advised to go with the Warranty. I'm thinking injector failure but have to wait until Monday to talk with the Warranty holder to see where I am to take it. I'm thinking that they'll want to send it to a local garage for a new injector and be done with it. But, obviously I'd prefer it goes to MB, I may not have this option. :fail
So, now the question. I was always planning to put it into MB to get the recent A service redone to keep the history MB. If the car hasn't previously had the injectors done. Would MB do them as a matter of course/recall or is it outside timescales, etc?
I've popped the engine cover off, Delphi everywhere.
